  1. Re:Early? on OpenBSD 6.2 Released (openbsd.org) · · Score: 1

    Not much to it really. Cron runs ffmpeg once an hour and records the video stream. After so many days the old files are deleted.

    /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i rtsp://192.168.1.9:554 -timeout 45 -an -c copy -movflags frag_keyframe -t 1:00:00 "/video/$(date).mp4"
    find /video -mtime +110 -name "*.mp4" -exec rm -rf {} \;

  2. Hackintosh on Windows 10 Update Removes Windows Media Player (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    For the hackintosh route you could run a VMware hypervisor with GPU pass through enabled.

  3. Honestly I never liked or trusted Hillary. My political views are fiscally conservative and socially liberal. While not a fan of socialism I did like Bernie due to the fact he was honest about not accepting money. However that was the very reason the democrats DIDN'T like him. I'm enjoying a Trump presidency for the sheer entertainment value of it all.

  4. Early? on OpenBSD 6.2 Released (openbsd.org) · · Score: 1

    I thought their release dates were always around November 1st? Anyhow I've been using OpenBSD forever on my personal www server that also does DVR duty for my security cameras. Upgrades are always smooth and quick.

  5. American companies will gladly take your money to influence an election.

  6. Keep laughing. Wait until Poettering dreams up this new brilliant idea. Instead of having /etc and its collection of human readable text files, all system configuration settings will be kept in a binary database named REGISTRY.DAT. Redhat will love this because their business model is selling support.

    Throwing money at a problem doesn't fix it.

  8. Pick up a copy of the book "Inside The AS/400". The design of the hardware is fascinating and years beyond this PC garbage we've been using for decades.

  9. Re:... and at least 6 years of right-wing politics on 20 Years of Stuff That Matters · · Score: 1

    Can you link to any of these stories?

  10. Re:Jon Katz on 20 Years of Stuff That Matters · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah. He wrote an article about how once the Taliban left Afghanistan the locals were digging out their Commodore 64 computers to watch DiVX encoded movies from 5 1/4 floppies.

    If you own an original McLaren F1 its now worth 10x as much.

  12. Re:Mozilla will likely disappear before Google. on Ask Slashdot: Which Businesses Will Go Away In the Next 10 Years? (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    That part was so fucking dumb. You couldn't enter your own settings first. You had to let it run the test and fail first. Thanks Mozilla. Plus your Thunderbird logo looks like a blue wig on a sphere.

  13. When you're talking cars that high end the majority are investments for rich people. The cars rarely get driven and spend their time in a garage. How many people daily drive their Veyrons?

  14. The dwindling user numbers speak for themselves, down to 6% now.

  15. Re:Remember on Donate Your Noise To Xiph/Mozilla's Deep-Learning Noise Suppression Project (xiph.org) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Nobody wants video conferencing in their browser and no one fucking uses it either.

  16. Remember when Mozilla made a web browser? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

  17. Wrong on Russia Suspected In GPS-Spoofing Attacks On Ships (wired.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    GPS signals are weak and easy to overpower. The protocol is 100% open and anyone can easily spoof positions with a HackRF and decent amplifier. The old positioning system (which name escapes) me was retired but was again re-activated for reasons exactly like this.

    What is your point besides buying crippled hardware?

  19. Upgrade already on Microsoft Releases 'Next Generation' Preview of Skype For Linux (skype.com) · · Score: 1

    64 bit stuff was out over a decade ago. You've had that long to upgrade. Tell you what, next trash day I'll drive around and pick you up something 64 bit.

  22. Not really. Software has also slowed as a result. Things still load as fast as they did two decades ago. An SSD makes a nice improvement but software never feels any faster.

  23. Facebook is a willing participant in election fraud?

  24. Actually I'm going to give Slackware a try. I played with Linux a lot in the 90s (up until kernel 2.2 was relased) and that was my first distro. Modern distros are so far removed they might as well be a different operating system.

  25. Linux supports NTFS just fine. I meant that it wasn't included by default and using the yum package manager to try and find the kernel modules didn't work either.
